#Economy: Exports grew at a six-month-high rate of 25.7% in Sept year-on-year, maintaining the momentum of 13 months of interrupted rise and despite the problems of getting refunds under the GST regime.This was the second month of exports expanding in double digits after outbound shipments were up 10.29% in August. The country exported goods worth $28.61 billion in September against $22.76 billion in the same month last year.In the third month into the GST, export growth picked up mainly owing to rising global crude prices, which pushed up processed petroleum exports by nearly 40%, apart from a broad-based improvement in exports of major foreign exchange earners such as engineering goods and gems and jewellery.

#Finance:Having ruled out further extension of the date for filing Goods and Services Tax Returns, the Govt  said the October 20 deadline to file the GSTR-3B would not be extended. It also said that real estate, a major area of tax evasion and black money generation, could soon be brought under GST.

#The benchmark Nifty closed at a new record high on Friday after economic data surprised positively. The rupee ended three-week high of 64.93 against the dollar, while the yields on the 10-year benchmark government security softened two basis points to 6.73. The Nifty gained 71 points, or 0.7 per cent, to close at an all-time high of 10,167, surpassing its September 18 record. The consumer inflation for Sept held steady, against expectations of acceleration, and industrial output hit high a nine-month high, data released on Thursday showed. Market players said the reading sparked hopes of an economic recovery and of a less hawkish stance from the central bank.

#Economy:Industrial output expanded to a nine-month high of 4.3% in August while the consumer price index based inflation rate remained stagnant at 3.28% in Sept. The food inflation rate declined to 1.25% in September from 1.52% in August, while the widely-tracked core inflation (inflation in manufacturing items sans food products) rate increased to 4.6% from 4.5%.

#Finance:Inflow into mutual funds through systematic investment plans has hit another historic high in September. The sector collected Rs 5,516 crore during the month as the number of SIP accounts touched 16.6 million, compared with 13.5 million at the beginning of this financial year. According to sector officials, every month Rs 250-300 crore worth SIPs were added and this trend would continue. With this, the current financial year is likely to surpass Rs 7,000 crore of consistent and steady investments on a monthly basis by March. This means a massive Rs 84,000 crore of sticky inflows into MFs every year.

#Kolkata ITAT deletes addition made in respect of long term capital gains made on the allegation of penny stock in the case of
Manish Kumar Baid And Mahendra Kumar Baid Versus ACIT, Cir-35, Kolkata.

Addition u/s 68 - sale proceeds of shares of Kailash Auto Finance Limited (KAFL) treating the same as income from undisclosed sources - rejecting the assessee’s claim of long term Capital Gains (LTCG) on sale of those shares - claim of exemption u/s 10(38) - Held that:- SEBI order did mention the list of 246 beneficiaries of persons trading in shares of KAFL, wherein, the assessee and/or Ashita Stock Broking Ltd’s name is not reflected at all. Hence the allegation that the assessee and/or Ashita Stock Broking Ltd. getting involved in price rigging of KAFL shares fails. We also find that even the SEBI’S order heavily relied upon by the Id AO clearly states that the company KAFL had performed very well during the year under appeal and the P/E ratio had increased substantially. Thus we hold that the said orders of SEBI is not evidence against the assessee.

Much less to speak of direct evidence. The enquiry by the Investigation wing and/or the statements of several persons recorded by the Investigation Wing in connection with the alleged bogus transactions in the shares of KAFL also did not implicate the assessee and/or his broker. It is also a matter of record that the assessee furnished all evidences in the from of bills, contract notes, demat statements and the bank accounts to prove the genuineness of the transactions relating to purchase and sale of shares resulting in LTCG. These evidences were neither found by the AO to be false or fabricated. The facts of the case and the evidences in support of the assessee’s to be false or fabricated.

The facts of the case and the evidences in support of the assessee’s case clearly support the claim of the assessee that the transactions of the assessee were bonafide and genuine and therefore the AO was not justified in rejecting the assessee’s claim of exemption under section 10(38) of the Act. AO was not justified in assessing the sale proceeds of shares of KAFL as undisclosed income of the assessee u/s 68 of the Act. - Decided in favour of the assessee.
